I once wrote a few programs using a made up language to dream of 
my ideal language: D is the closest language that fits the bill. 
The constructs had language level support of ranges, function 
scope level imports, pure keyword, unified function call, and 
string mixins. The only thing missing honestly is proper support 
for ADTs/Enum-types (with enforcing an exhaustive match when 
switch/casing).
